What's up everyone. You know what would be a sweet thing that you could do for your neighborhood Story of the Year band? You could help us get our new single "WAKE UP" jamming on KFMA - Tucson's New Rock by calling 520-880-5362 and requesting that shit. This is an important radio station for us, and if you want to help out some kind, sensitive, great dancing young men such as ourselves, please take 32 seconds of your day and call and request "WAKE UP". That would rule.
The April tour is pretty much filled up, so check the TOUR page and buy your advance tickets and watch me make out with Josh every night while doing a guitar solo in a panda suit.
More news coming soon!!!! Love, Ryan
